building a vagrant box from scratch - unable to install jekyll

[paul kendal]

i am trying to build a vagrant box from scatch -

this are the steps i am meant to follow: 

$ mkdir first-box-factory

$ cd first-box-factory

Initialize a new project using Vagrant:

$ vagrant init -m ubuntu/trusty32

Bring up the VM:

$ vagrant up

www

$ vagrant ssh

$ sudo apt-get update -y

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

$ sudo apt-get install lynx-cur -y

$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev -y

$ sudo gem install jekyll

i have done everything up to the last stage. i need to install jekyll. however, i keep getting this error message: 

Fetching: rb-fsevent-0.9.8.gem (100%)

Fetching: ffi-1.9.14.gem (100%)

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:

        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ffi-1.9.14 for inspection.

Results logged to /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ffi-1.9.14/ext/ffi_c/gem_make.out

i would really appropriate some advice on how i can get around this.

hi

Seems to be related to  cannot load such   file -- mkmf (LoadError)

what happens if you use  ruby and ruby-dev 

?

hi. thanks for your response. i am not clear what you mean by using ruby-dev. do you mean, i should try without the numbering?

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

hello

replace:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev -y

$ sudo gem install jekyll

with

$ sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev builc-essentials -y

$ sudo gem install jekyll

Hi Alvaro

sorry to come back to you on this, but it's still not working. the package now installs ruby1.9.3.4, however jekyll requires  2.0

these are these are the messages i received: 

$ sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev build-essential -y

Setting up libalgorithm-merge-perl (0.08-2) ...

Setting up libfile-fcntllock-perl (0.14-2build1) ...

Setting up ruby1.9.1-dev (1.9.3.484-2ubuntu1.2) ...

Setting up ruby-dev (1:1.9.3.4) ...

sudo gem install jekyll

ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:

        public_suffix requires Ruby version >= 2.0.

any advice on what i should do?

Hello,

Couple of options, one is to use a newer OS and check if the ruby you require is there.

Ubuntu Xenial should do fine.

OR, learn a bit of ruby and use either rbenv or rvm.

At the end you will end with a set of scripts/instructions that vagrant can run on your behalf.

Maybe check Jekyll blogs, or try to find some project of someone that is using Vagrant already.

Happy to help with Vagrant questions.

Alvaro.
